Default Greetings from Flint, MI

New member here from Vehicle City (or Buick City as it was once known).

Been working on my metalshaping skills for a couple of years having attended one of Ron Fournier's workshops and Ron Covell's weekend drive-bys in the western part of my fair state.

Working on a little custom roadster pickup based loosely on the classic Ford RPU but strateched a bit to accommodate my somewhat taller than average frame. Guess I could have bought everything but where's the challenge in that?

I'm working on a superleggera approach to building the body as the tubing framework gives me a better guide to panel shape than trying to do it "freehand".

Trying to develop a more scientific approach to the english wheel other than creating scrap metal at a prodigious rate...

FJ
